Notes from the Resistance
The Supreme Court ruled the Trump Administration can continue operations in Los Angeles to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the streets [More]
So… elections have judicial consequences…?
And this actually does affect the “single issue”?
Go ahead, Democrats. Rebel not just against Trump but the Supreme Court.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in Viramontes v. Cook County, SAF’s challenge to the Cook County, Ill., ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
I was happy to see that it did not neglect to include:
The text of the Second Amendment itself proclaims that one of its purposes was to preserve the “militia” and, to state the obvious, the militia did not exist solely to promote individual self-defense but rather was “useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections,” “render[ed] large standing armies unnecessary,” and enabled the people to be “better able to resist tyranny”. Indeed, to the extent there is a historical tradition with respect to “military” arms, it is to afford them especially strong protection.

It’d go a lot further if the DOJ were serious about this and offered its support.

Trump’s Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to strike down state laws prohibiting handguns from being brought onto someone else’s property without that person’s consent. The department also declined to ask the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court’s ruling that federal age limits on handgun purchases are unconstitutional. [More]
OK, but not exactly the HUGE NEWS some are touting.
Next…?

Nothing like emboldening gun-grabbers and eroding respect for law…
And speaking of Firearms News articles, the June 2025 issue (pictured above) with three of my articles (“Supreme Court Avoids New York Second Amendment Infringements” (p. 10), “A Tale of Two Revolutions” (p.12), and “ATF and DOJ Continue Abuses While Being Bipolar on Guns” (p. 14), is now on display at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.

NRA-ILA Petitions the U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to NFA Restrictions on Short-Barreled Rifles [More]
Pretty long on “common use” popularity and pretty short on core purpose except to address militia controls, as opposed to militia necessity.
Now all SCOTUS has to do is… nothing.

Don’t look to Pam Bondi’s “Second Amendment Task Force” to help.
And don’t look to SCOTUS to hear it if it did.

Talk about sugar-coating: Good grief.
You know what would work even better than “YOUR help”? Getting Pam Bondi and her ATF guy to submit well documented statements of support.
If gun owner reps had a seat at the table, they’d be able to finesse that. But the ones in a position to demand that apparently think continuing to solicit craps shoot funds is the better way to go.
The Supreme Court unanimously threw out Mexico’s multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the American gun industry on Thursday that sought to usher in major changes to firearm sales by holding companies liable for cartel violence. [More]
At what point will the industry go after Jonathan Lowy for costs and fees?
GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
Obama Judge Says to Hell with the Supreme Court, Orders Trump DOJ to Turn Over Docs Related to Decision to Revoke ‘Protected Status’ for Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants [More]
Millions of Democrat cultists are fine with inferior courts imposing their subversion on the rest of the Republic, and they have enough representation to block a fix by Congress. At some point, Trump will need to exercise executive prerogative.

What’s to negotiate?
The Supreme Court heard oral argument today in birthright citizen case with implications for 2A. [Watch]
I was hoping some prominent voice in the gun adovcacy community would finally address how immigration demographics threaten 2A, but no such luck. Instead, we get Sonia Sotomayor disingenuously playing devil’s advocate for nationwide injunctions by asking what would happen if a president ordered gun bans and confiscations.
The answer wouldn’t be a legal one.
It hasn’t been done because they wouldn’t dare.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has joined a 26-state coalition urging the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to intervene in a legal challenge to Hawaii’s firearms law, Act 52, which restricts the carrying or possession of firearms in various public and private locations deemed “sensitive,” such as parks, beaches, bars, and financial institutions. [More]
Good, but there are more pressing issues that affect ALL of us.
In the meantime, Hawaiians can just do what I did for @ 30 years in California…

Justice Jackson says attacks on judges, including impeachment calls, are ‘designed to intimidate’ [More]
Yeah, no $#!+.
Because if you can’t be, then you become unaccountable.
Why do you think that Second Amendment you keep voting against is still working well enough to discourage mass confiscations?
Anybody see anything on Snope or Ocean Tactical…? [More]
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen led a 26-state coalition today asking the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to intervene and halt Hawaii’s unconstitutional gun ban which prohibits the carry or possession of firearms in designated “sensitive” places, including bars and restaurants serving alcohol, parks and beaches, banks and financial institutions, and other areas. [More]
Why it’s even necessary speaks volumes of the mindset that votes to be ruled.
